Happenings around the Boudnath Stupa Kathmandu, Nepal

flower offerings 

Lamas and Monks doing Puja

Tibetan ladies making offerings
Colin turning giant Prayer wheel at monastery next to the great stupa

Prayer flags strung from top of The Boudha Stupa

Butter lamp offerings all the way around the stupa
There where a lot of special things going on at the Stupa when we where there.  There where special Pujas ( ceremonies) being done by Lamas and monks. There were opportunities to get prayer flags blessed and then hung on the stupa which we did.  And lighting butter lamp offerings.
